Geography isn't your strong point is it! :laughing:

hot, i wish virgin east coast would have a sale one day too.

The cheapest first class advance ticket from Edinburgh to Crewe on VTWC is £38.50 when there isn't a sale, so £77 return for one person. So no way could you get two for £87.40.

Cheaper tickets are available on Transpennine for as little as £33.10 each way. So if there are two people getting those fares, both using a railcard, it would come to the figure you quoted.

But it's not a fair comparison. Transpennine first class gets you a small snack and a drink in a paper cup - if you're lucky and there's a catering trolley on the train. With Virgin you get proper meals, proper drinks, alcohol and use of the first class lounge at the stations at both ends, where you can get free snacks and drinks.

I cant find any such thing. Current pricing now is £101.40 for 1 adult return traveling standard class.
The price difference between Standard (Advance) and First Class is almost double when not on sale. Compare that with a difference of £20 during the sale!

I was able to go straight to the website and find the same for £87.40 without any sale, with a normal advance ticket for 2, so my point stands.

you had to have your two pence worth. I made an error but people like you can't help yourself. Whilst I was doing 101 things I made an error. The deal has ended.

I can't find any tickets for £4:00. I was searching for travel from Luton to Brighton.

Ah all these ticket finding is frustrating, I'll just drive if I have to.

After deleting my cookies the offer is back... Great!

This should turn out to be a great deal. They will no doubt be delayed, or cancelled (meaning having to get a later train), so you can get your money back through the compensation scheme.

They're so bad, i've lost count of the amount of money i've had back off them over the years. This month alone it's over £400.

Don't forget topcashback/quidco (2% I think), nectar points and check your Nectar account as often they give xxx bonus points for any purchase on Virgin Trains.

They have just updated the website. The deal has expired! :disappointed:

Are you kidding me!? Glasgow to Crewe for £7 each way! And departing on a Saturday morning! Absolute bargain for us because we can take the dog (unlike National Express or Megabus) when we visit my boyfriends family near Stafford!

​They were in the sale that was on from 5-7 July. Lots of them. On most trains most days.

Thanks,I'll look again x

had such a great time with these sales. went to Liverpool last year, now Manchester soon :smiley:

It says chester to London is in the same and I've tried loads of times and dates and most are over £100???

Thanks very much OP. You've saved me a small fortune.

Just got a ticket Birmingham international to Watford junction £4
( usually £7.50) on a Friday .

Thank you, just booked Birmingham to London return for £8, perfect timing! voted hot!

Hmm, tried Milton Keynes to Glasgow in August, no sign of cheap seats.

Fantastic! I was planning a weekend visit to London anyway. Just saved me £35. Heated and thanks OP :smiley:

Despite numerous so called sales, I've never actually found a fare that is cheaper than a normal advance fare. Is Virgin hoodwinking us?

Cool, missed out on the last one. Picked up some tickets for my regular cross country commute for £20 return.

Can't get the site to load

Is there an easy way to search for the sale prices

hot, i wish virgin east coast would have a sale one day too.

Thanks for the heads up :smiley:
